What is the Future of Dynamics CPM?

Sadly, there is no still no Microsoft Dynamics Corporate Performance Management (CPM) or Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) solution available from Microsoft.

Along with that, Microsoft's former CPM solutions; namely Forecaster and FRx/Management Reporter, are basically dead although Management Reporter has a continued shelf-life as Financial Reporter for Dynamics 365 Financials & Operations users.

So, if you came to this thread, looking for the new shiny FP&A solution from Microsoft, you may be disappointed.

But on the flip side, there are a number of very good FP&A solutions available on the market today and many of them can integrate with Microsoft Dynamics ERPs, whether the legacy Dynamics family (i.e. GP, NAV, SL or AX), or the new Dynamics 365 Cloud family (FO or Business Central 'BC').

If you're in the market for a new FP&A solution to help you with planning (i.e. budgeting, forecasting), reporting (i.e. management, financial, currency translations, consolidations) or analysis that I've found is easy to use, easy to implement, easy to maintain and works the way you do, I'd be happy to talk to you about it.

Feel free to contact me:

Sincerely,
Les Wright
